That's odd.

The FDL to me has always said "I like to wear pink,low-rider thongs, and high heels"

Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Who ever heard of a bounty hunter that drives a Lamborghini or flies around in a Lear Jet? That goes for pirates, too! Most bounty hunters I've ever seen might have a nice SUV if they've been successful, and when was the last time you saw a pirate in anything other than an old, rusty, fishing boat?

I'd think for role playing purposes, you'd probably want to limit yourself to the Cobra III. But with the game throwing money at you these days, I guess it doesn't make sense, in this FD/ED universe, to just ignore all that cash floating around.

I could say I miss the old days were bounties were low and it was possible to role play as a scruffy bounty hunter, but I think FD always had it screwed up with pirates flying around in luxury attack yachts. :roll:
It's time to give this another go.

Why would anyone want to pretend their flying around in what must be one of the dumbest looking space ships I have ever seen.

Apart from the imperial star destroyers, every ship in the star wars universe can be described as "utterly moronic".
But then again the whole saga is a pile of drivel that only works out if you are under the age of 8 when you first saw it or REALLY high.

Star trek isn't much better (not really counting the reboot), but there they actually try to make a somewhat coherent plot line and hired top notch actors in key positions, so at least the delivery is somewhat entertaining.

George Lucas on the other hand seemed to go out of his way to find actors incapable of acting.

its cheaper, not including armour a fully equipped FDL is 80 million, fully equipped python is closer to 130 mil

I'd say 90-95 for FDL and 170 for python. And that's with default armor.

ED shipyard says otherwise :P

But tbh those prices would debatable be more reasonable considering what the ships are
